I didn't count King or Woodgate as they don't play enough games to be judged these days so I would certainly put Terry ahead of those 2 and on a par with Rio Ferdinand but not as good as Vidic

Were Terry to express an interest in coming to Spurs I would snap him up in a heartbeat.

As fas as actual talent goes, King is a class above, honestly he is...and yes I know he's no use on the treatment table!

A fit Ledley King would of been the best defender in the County, and one of the very best in World football.

Absolute travesty that he hasn't been able to showcase his talents on a consistent basis.

Terry is very good but I just couldn't stomach him in a Spurs shirt, I have limits :wink:

and I know the counter to this is...you sign anybody who will improve your chances and thats true, but signing him just wouldn't feel right to me, would leave a very sour taste in the mouth.

Plus his dads a deeler :wink:

Thankfully this will never happen.

Someone, a few months back said on S.C. that they'd invite Daws around for dinner at their home anytime, whereas John Terry they wouldn't even give him their address.

In the US they have an expression for people like J.T......."trailer trash" and that about sums the guy up in my opinion.

Short of having Judas back or signing Diouf I would welcome any player at Spurs who would improve us and that includes knobs like Terry, Cashley, Bellamy, Adebayor, Barton etc, I would rather we were winners of silverware with odious ****s in the team than forever the bridesmaid with a team full of nice guys.

You see it doesn't have to be like the two extremes you present. There is a hell of a lot of middle ground between those two situations.

To be honest as well, any player who pulls on the Spurs shirt is an ambassador for this Club, I wouldn't want a group thugs like Barton running around in a Spurs shirt - no thanks, or certainly not a whole team of them :wink:

I would just rather have a few more Sandro's or Wilson's if its a bit more steel and grit your looking for.

Dawson will be better then Terry. But, If he was offered today, I would take him (even though I cannot stand the man!).

He's only as good as he is because he loves the teams he plays for, and that's his strength, his commitment. He loves Chelsea to death and loves England.

Playing for Spurs he'd detest us and be shit.

Plus he's a **** :lol:

He is definitely over rated IMO so have never rated him. Saying that, he could be the best defender in the world, Ferdinand, King, Vidic all rolled into one, I still think he is a **** and have always thought so, from his days way back with Jody Morris (another ****), so I wouldnt want him anywhere near our club. There is football and there is John Terry.

Please explain this to me....how could you not rate someone who you then describe as being three of the best defenders in the world rolled into one? I find that strange!

He means he would still not take him even if he was the best in the world because he is such a ****.

Been thinking about this some more and I'd take him. He clearly has proper talent snd just because he's a shit in real life doesn't mean it will rub off on the other players. After all nobody was rushing out to fuck around when Crouchy was cheating.

JD was always a playa.

Yeah...but he didn't stipulate. He didn't "...because Crouchy was playing...", just "...when Crouchy was..." Therefore it is correct to point out that JD was putting it about when Crouchy was playing away, even if ther was no causal link:wink:
